Mr. Ron DaviešTo ask the Minister of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food what information he has concerning the numbers of dead farm animals disposed of improperly; and if he will collect details from highways authorities concerning the numbers of farm animal carcasses they collect.
§ Mr. MacleanWe have received some reports of unburied animals and illegal dumping, but as the Agriculture Select Committee accepted in its recent report, most are anecdotal. However, the state veterinary service continues to monitor the situation very closely in consultation with all interested authorities.
